We've been assigned a compositional project for music class, and we have to compose a piece in Baroque style for eight instruments...Flute, Violin, Bb Clarinet, Alto Sax, Tenor Sax, Trumpet, Trombone, and Euphonium (even though some wouldn't have been used in Baroque times). These are, coincidentally, the instruments we have in the class, so he is obviously intending for us to play it.

Now, he said we have a choice of composing any type of music we want, but the more complex, the higher the mark.

Hence, I have chosen to attempt a fugue. I know all about how to play a fugue, and some of the basic structure, but can someone give me advice as to how to actually put one together, specifically for 8 instruments!

Thanks!!
